Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, allspice, and ginger in a medium bowl.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch (12-cup) fluted tube pan (such as Bundt).
Step 3
Beat sugar, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until slightly lightened in color. Add carrots; stir to coat. Fold in flour mixture with a rubber spatula or large spoon until just barely combined with some small clumps; don't use a hand mixer. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into center comes out mostly clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack, right-side up, for 15 minutes. Invert pan onto a plate and gently tap pan to remove cake. Cool completely.
Step 5
While cake is cooling, whisk butter, bourbon, orange juice, and orange zest together in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Boil about 1 minute. Off heat, add confectioners' sugar, a little at a time, whisking until smooth before adding more and until glaze reaches desired consistency. Liberally spoon glaze over mostly cooled cake.
